Universal Sydney

Absolutely love coming here with friends. The atmosphere is so good especially with the drag, and music is awesome with great cocktails to. Also love how it’s big so you don’t feel your being breathed over and can actually have a good time.

Always have such an amazing time at universal. The performers are always awesome. The shows just as good. The team behind the venue are the best on Oxford Street (in my opinion). Always feel welcomed here it’s like my second home. They always live by their motto that love is universal.

Favourite night is Sunday Nights for Sunday shenanigans because it’s an open night for people who want to perform which is always amazing and the hosts that night are awesome.

Came here last Thursday night, and I have to say this night club last was fricken awesome! Great selection of songs and the shows were cool to watch. Staff were very attentive and the drinks prices were very reasonable. Definitely coming back when in Sydney next!

Iconic gay bar with an incredible $5 happy hour every day from 5-7pm. Great staff and a camp atmosphere – plus there’s drag every night! Previously known as the Midnight Shift, Universal has reshaped itself in a similar vein to other bars like G-A-Y in London. The first place I recommend to visiting friends.

Was my first time visiting Universal last weekend.
First off it was an amazing vibe, the stage area, lighting and atmosphere was stunning. I can imagine that later in the night it would really kick off as we were there from 6pm on a Friday.
Unfortunately, after 45 mins of waiting, my food never came out. This was upsetting because my friends all got their food but mine never came. The staff explained that the “ticket hadn’t printed”. It was only then when I realised that the kitchen was next door and not physically part of the venue. Perhaps there was a technical communication issue between the two venues- which was a shame because the food actually looked quite nice!

The staff were a mixed bag also. Front bar staff making drinks were lovely as well as the manager for giving me a refund for the food that never came out. But I found the dark haired waitress quite rude as she only collected the glasses and not the plates after a few table runs. When I told her about the plates that needed to be cleared she scowled and seemed visibly frustrated.

I won’t be eating here again unfortunately.
But I will definitely give the club area upstairs a go next time I come to Sydney.
